Egypt’s National Council for Women has launched the first training sessions of its entrepreneurship program in Ras Gharib, Red Sea governorate, with 25 women taking part over two days.
The training is part of the program’s sixth phase, which aims to help women establish and manage small businesses while building skills that support greater economic independence. Sessions covered business planning, marketing, entrepreneurship, innovation, opportunity assessment, time management and prioritisation.
Participants were also introduced to business model development, basic accounting, business registration and licensing procedures, as well as institutions offering financing and technical support to small and micro-enterprises, according to the council.
The council said training will continue in Ras Gharib, Hurghada and Safaga during November and December. The wider program aims to train 350 women from across the Red Sea governorate in setting up and managing businesses, with support from specialised entrepreneurship trainers.
